Bro, you serious? That shyt is just totally made up with zero meaning. shyt like that is just the product of uneducated hood boogers shyttin out kids in bad environments. What does that lead to? Guarantee you if there was a man in the equation that cared for his son/daughter, 70% of the time they would agree on a name that would’ve been more mainstream. Black folks still don’t get the picture….your name affects your future as a person of color. Y’all better learn to play the game cause yall already at the bottom….unless yall like it down there..

His mama gave him that name. What more meaning does he need?

You act like everybody really sit around thinking about the etymology of their names on a daily basis

Tell me what john mean without Google

Come on, man…you know some of these names are trifling…just look at the OP’s post with the baby hair birds and what they think a nice name is…you right tho, they don’t remotely think about the etymology of the names they pick cause there ain’t none…

I understand rejecting Eurocentric names if you're on that time but the shyt has gotten outta hand and needs a reeling in. People naming growing humans like they are naming puppies.

If that's an unpopular opinion so be it.

Worst part is these names have jack to do with true African names. Just some hip and trendy follow the leader type deal.

Something made up over centuries doesn't have any more right to exist than something randomly made up yesterday.

Thread is hella

nikkas in here justifying discrimination off a damn name


I will say though, my boy dogs name is very European but the spelling is all fukked up

Be having them like at the vets office if it's not the usual techs

I swear something kicked in mentally when I had to choose and I couldnt dare give him a basic ass name


I already know I'm not naming my future kids some basic ass bs

No justification. It sucks but is a real thing. I mean these days AI screening is tossing apps regardless of names(your format can be trash or be missing certain keywords and your shyt'll get junked) so the days of it being a huge deal might be past....but you can tell some of these names are just to be cute.

I don’t even think that people delivering ghetto names are type of people that think about thinks such as anti-eurocentrism.

Just like many Hollywood people they wanna be extra

I didn't think you could legally name someone King.

You can.

I also always wonder why people call biblical names European instead of biblical. Is it cause it’s the romanized version?

It’s like Muslims, they’ll say shyt like you have a white name to like John but not to Juan or the Arabic version yahya. Same name, named after the same person. Religions from the same place. Just interpretations of a dead language

Black women=black people

Naw, many black women here in America have made it clear that there's the black community and then there's black women.. Remember when Ice Cube went to the"Fox Soul" show???

I’m in some Facebook mom groups, and trust, this ain’t a black thing, it’s generational, these white women out here with wildly stupid kid names
